[QUOTE="dead, post: 1706020, member: 18707"] Thanks for your help everyone. :) Well, it's perhaps hard to pin down, but I know that when I read DL fiction by the creaters, Weis and Hickman, then all the elements are right there in the book! So, I guess they are things such as: drama, romance, loyalty, sadness, good triumphing over an all-pervasive evil, epic tales. And essentially, this is where my problems lies. You see, I might be able to handle a major epic quest with the DL flavour, but you can't have these all the time. You have to have more "ordinary" quests inbetween. And this is one reason I asked a while ago: Is there ever going to be "ordinary" adventures published for the DL setting? I mean, Sovereign Stone is releasing the 3-part trilogy, but I class this as an epic quest. Indeed, have any normal-type adventures been released for DL? I've got the 2E "DLQ1 Knight's Sword" and "DLQ2 Flint's Axe" but even these had to incorporate the Heroes of the Lance into them to stay valid. Is there going to be "regular" adventures without any epic quest involved or direct reference to the Heroes of the Lance? I don't know, maybe a bunch of Draconians are hiding in the sewers of Palanthus are conducting fowl experiments on the citizens to turn them into to fellow scaly-kind? I don't know, some plot that works on a *generic* sort of basis, but still has the DL "flavour". [/QUOTE]
